SBAC Grade 3 Math Practice Test

Question 1

Steve had to pay a library fee. The amount he paid is shown below.

How much did he pay?

Accepted Answer

$2.74

Answer

To determine the amount Steve paid, one would typically read the numerical value presented in the problem, likely from an image of a price tag or a written amount. The correct answer, $2.74, directly reflects the specific value indicated as the library fee.

Question 2

What number sentence is illustrated by the diagram below?

Accepted Answer

32÷4=8

Answer

The diagram (not provided, but implied by the answer) would illustrate 32 items being divided into 4 equal groups. If each group contains 8 items, this visually represents the division operation 32 ÷ 4 = 8, showing how a total quantity is split into equal parts.

Question 3

James drew the following connected squares and labeled them as Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on.

If he continues this pattern, how many squares will he use for Figure 9?

Accepted Answer

26

Answer

To find the number of squares for Figure 9, we need to identify the pattern in the number of squares per figure. Assuming an arithmetic progression where each figure adds a constant number of squares (e.g., if Figure 1 has 2, Figure 2 has 5, Figure 3 has 8, adding 3 each time), continuing this pattern would lead to 26 squares for Figure 9.

Question 4

A teacher donates to a local charity. Each year, she donates three times the amount donated the previous year. If the teacher donated $2 the first year, how much did she donate during the fifth year?

Accepted Answer

$162

Answer

The teacher's donations follow a geometric progression, where each year's amount is three times the previous year's. Starting with $2 in the first year, the donations are: Year 1: $2; Year 2: $6; Year 3: $18; Year 4: $54; and Year 5: $162.
